Dremel Flex Shaft Rotary Tool Attachment with Comfort Grip and 36” Long Cable - Engraver, Polisher, and Mini Sander- Ideal for Detail Metal Engraving, Wood Carving, and Jewelry Polishing, 225-02

Sturdy. Durable. Just like Description States. Works Great, Grip and Fit is Amazing. Storage quality and Speed match description plus instructions too.

This attachment is very handy for finer detail work with the full variety of standard Dremel tool bits. The smaller detail tool can fit into tighter spaces and is so much lighter and easier to handle than the larger standard Dremel tool body.

This attachment should allow working on fine details with your dremel. At $18 it was only a little more than the knockoff. But this one is guaranteed to work with the dremel. Good buy at the discounted price. It look and feels like quality, we will have to see how it holds up for durability.

Works great. Easy to hold and move

Shaft is relatively short, not really applicable for allowing the tool to be hung over workbench. Moderate vibration when operating. Quality appears good.

This rotary extension I bought for my 4300 works really well. The only complaint I have is sometimes the chuck head comes loose and I have to retighten it, but I like it

I own the Dremel 8000-03 Cordless which is only 14oz. I partly bought it because I wanted a relatively light tool for small work. Most of the usefulness of the flex shaft attachment is in reducing the weight of what you have to hold in your hand for detail work, so this attachment isn't quite as useful to me as it would be if I had one of the corded models that weights twice as much. I bought it anyway, along with the Dremel 575 Right Angle Attachment just so I'd have it around in case I needed to get in to tighter spaces or needed further "weight reduction" over holding the tool itself in one hand. If I were using a corded model it would be absolutely essential for me for what I do. Because it isn't something that I normally need, I haven't used it that much and probably won't use it routinely, so I can't properly speak to its durability. (I usually go back and update these reviews after a while though to update people on that.) But in my testing it feels very sturdy and solid and so I feel confident in its ability to hold up when maintained properly. (Not stored so that it bends at sharp angles, greased at intervals as specified in the manual, etc.) It seems to have no problem working with the Dremel 4486 Keyless Chuck . Attaching and removing the flex drive from the tool itself it is similar to attaching and removing the right angle attachment (you need to replace the collet nut or chuck on the rotary tool with a "drive" adapter that the cable slots into) both of which are pretty easy. I am not entirely sure if it's OK to attach the right angle adapter to the handheld part of the flex shaft as it seems like together they may create too much friction on the drive and thus possibly too much additional load on the motor. (Remember these rotary tools power accessories based on speed, not on torque. High speed low torque often does not deal with too much continuous load very well.) Anyone who knows if this is considered OK or who has long term experience using both together please post a comment. A couple of things that you must keep in mind when using this: 1) You really do want to hang the tool up above where you're working when you're using this flex thing. I can't say exactly why, but most likely it has to do with keeping the amount of friction low (increased when more of the shaft is curved vs straight) and keeping the shaft from bending at too sharp of an angle. If you have the Dremel 220-01 Work Station drill press type thing then that comes with an extendable hanger but I can't see any good reason to buy that thing just to get a hanger. In fact almost anyone could come up with something much less expensive and more secure than using the hanger on that. Screw an eye screw into the ceiling and hang it from a rope or run a "clothesline" across your work area and hang it on a couple of "S" hooks, or something. If you don't hang the tool I doubt the shaft is going to shred itself immediately but I'm sure it won't last as long, will be more likely to get damaged by an accidental sharp bend, and won't be able to run at as high of a speed due to the increased friction. 2) NOTE! In case you miss the little note in the box, you really do want to run this thing at high speed for a couple of minutes with it hung straight down and no accessory attached. It'll make some disconcerting little ticking sounds at first but those will stop after several seconds. I suspect the point of this is that you want to evenly distribute the grease inside the shaft before running it while bent or otherwise doing any real work. Again, I doubt you'll shred the thing if you don't do this, but at the very least you might have a little trouble with your grinding, etc, for a minute if you try to use it immediately since it's going to distribute grease or otherwise break itself in when first used no matter what. It really will run at 35,000RPM and it really is OK to run it like this for two minutes straight without doing anything. It won't whip around or anything so this is pretty safe. (My cats weren't even that afraid of it while it was doing this.) 3) You will need to grease the thing at periodic intervals as the manual says or you will eventually shred the flexible cable inside the jacket. The grease you use for this is as common as dirt at auto parts stores though. So in short, this attachment is pretty important if you want to use a heavier model of a dremel in one hand. The other option in this case is to buy an additional smaller rotary tool for one-handed use but you'll probably end up with less power for more money if you take that option. If you already have a light tool that you can hold in one hand for a sufficient time without much trouble then you might want to hold off on buying this until the need arises. But in any case, this is a solid quality attachment that you'll likely be very happy with if and when you do have a use for it.

I’ve bought several of these over the years — not because they break (they last a long time), but because I use them so much I like to keep extras on hand for different workstations. The Dremel Flex Shaft makes all the difference for precision work. Whether I’m doing metal engraving, wood carving, or jewelry polishing, it gives me way more control than holding the tool itself. The comfort grip is great for long sessions — no hand fatigue, even when I’m doing detailed carving or polishing tiny parts. It connects easily to my Dremel, and the 36-inch cable gives me plenty of room to work without feeling tethered or awkward. Swapping out bits is easy, and the shaft stays flexible without feeling flimsy. If you do any kind of fine detail work, this is a total game-changer. Honestly, I wouldn’t even think about using my Dremel for engraving or sanding without this attachment anymore.

This is a staple in my shop. Makes jobs so much quicker and easier and is a well made tool. Fits great in the hand and works wonders! I use it for carving and it's a game changer

Não usei ainda, mas o produto veio solto dentro de uma caixa muito maior que ele. Embalagem muito ruim

alles ok

I didn't know that Dremel is owned by Bosch until I went to register my warranty. I'm not surprised because I've had a Bosch drill for years that outshines other big brands. Sure you pay more for Dremel brand, but I've had enough knock-offs fail that I'd rather spend the little bit more for quality. Kudos to Amazon for the saving tip. I initially selected the two pieces individually and I got a pop up telling me this was available, cheaper, in a combo.

本体はトルクも回転数もあって非常にパワフルですが、あれを持って作業するのは大変なので、普段はこれを先端に装着して作業しています。 長さもいい感じでブレも小さく非常に快適に作業できます。 内部にはシャフトが入っており、数千回転の回転数で回るのでグリス切れは致命的です。 しかもフレキシブルとなると少しのグリス切れで痛みが一気に進むので、けっこうこまめにグリスの入れ替えが必要なのが結構面倒ですが、快適かつパワフルなので仕方ないですね。 高い粘土のグリスだと長持ちしますがモーターに負荷がかかるので、適切なグリスを探す必要がありますが、なかなかちょうどよいのが見つからないです。 グリス交換時期は見た目が黒くなったら金属が削れて黒くなってるので、そのタイミングでグリス交換すればいいと思います。 シャフトにウエスとかを巻き付けて拭き取り、新しいグリスを塗り替えとか結構面倒ですが、こまめにやると使用頻度が高めでも結構長持ちします。 メンテナンスが面倒ですが、精度の高さはさすがボッシュ（ドレメル）かなと思います。
